I HE Massachusetts vSociety, Sons of the American 
Revohition, presents this little book to its guests at 
the seventeenth annual Congress of the National 
Society, Boston, April 30 and May i, 1906. The 
l)ook has been compiled by a Committee of the 
Society in the effort to give at a glance an idea of 
old Boston from the historic view-point. Present day Boston, 
speaks for itself — like the old Commonwealth, " there she stands ; 
behold her! " But to recall from the vitally throbbing Past the 
memories of this old towm's great deeds and great men ; to show 
how the beginnings were made, and to give an idea of first things 
— this has been the labor of the committee in this little work, and 
it is hoped that the same will add to the pleasure of the visitors, 
will stimulate their love for the historic, their veneration for the 
men of old, and their appreciation of the mighty work wrought 
by Boston and Massachusetts in the formative period of our 
National life. 

Great care has been taken to select views not often seen, and 
it is believed that the selection herein offered is of interest and 
value ; that it will give a good idea of the old Boston, and that it 
will prove a souvenir of a delightful visit and a most useful gather- 
ing of our Society. 

Acknowledgment is made, with great appreciation, of the 
kindness of Mr. George A. Moore of the Old Corner Bookstore, for 
permission to use the artistic illustrations from Porter's " Rambles 
in Old Boston ; " also to the John Hancock L,ife Insurance 
Company for half-tone illustrations, including Cobb's " Evacuation 
of Boston " and Bicknell's " Battle of Lexington." 

The Chairman of the Conmiittee on Publication wishes to 
place on record his sincere appreciation of the earnest aud thorough 
work of his coadjutors on the committee, Messrs. Edward Webster 
McGlenen, and Walter Kendall Watkins. These gentlemen have 



labored loyally to produce this l)'bT)k'^-aud the Society is under 
great debt to them for the valuable data herewith placed on record. 

EDWIN S. CRANDON, 

Chairman, Publication Committee.
